[QUOTE="jeeper80, post: 1619263, member: 84830"] I've been out of it for a while but several years ago I bought short chambered Douglas barrels that fit up and shot excellently. As I state in my previous post, final headspacing was done with a hand turned finish reamer with an extension. Douglas also made available barrels that were long chambered (about .010" as I remember) for people who had a lathe. Headspacing required turning the barrel shoulder back. But these are options that are (or were) available. One MOA accuracy with good loads was not a problem. If you want optimum accuracy, send it to an accuracy gunsmith who specializes in receiver and barrel work and invest in a match grade barrel from one of the custom makers. [/QUOTE]
